I am sort of wondering if this was Emilio Estevez's way of getting back at his dad for being grounded as a kid? "Dad - got this great movie I am making. And I want you to be the star. You will get to see all kinds of sights in Europe - Mostly France and Spain." "Sure, Em. What do I have to do" "Oh you know - be in some shots with pretty backgrounds. Think "Dancing with Wolves"." "Ok. Wonderful" 240 walking miles later... "You....little...sh......I.....am....making Char.......lie my new.....favorite,....... Duck.....Boy!"

It didn't inspire the wanderlust that I was hoping it would, but a great story nonetheless. It was far more about the people than the journey. That's not a knock, just a slight disappointment to me personally since it was suggested to me as a backpacker's film.

Along the journey, they learn more about each other and share their stories. Th More

Dr. Thomas Avery (Martin Sheen), an American ophthalmologist, goes to France following the death of his son Daniel, killed in the Pyrenees during a storm on the Camino de Santiago (aka the Way of St. James).

We see, by way of flashback, that Thomas and Daniel's relationship was strained – and a More
